An example of that was a test of saxophone volume in the heyday of theater orchestras.
Selmer, Conn, King, Buescher, Holton and Martin altos and tenors were used. Of them all
the Martins were the quietest in the orchestra pit but could be heard over the others in the back of the hall.

It reminds me of the first time I heard a recording of my own voice. Do I really sound like that I thought and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had that reaction.

You're correct. We all thought that when we first heard you speak.
